Resumen
El autocontrol es un rasgo de personalidad que incide en el desempeño laboral y en la conducta relacional que las personas despliegan en diferentes escenarios sociales. Este estudio pretende mostrar la contribución del autocontrol para explicar la variabilidad del comportamiento relacional formal e informal en una empresa de base tecnológica. Para ello, se aplicaron métodos de análisis de redes para evaluar la estructura relacional, el procedimiento de asignación cuadrática para examinar el solapamiento entre la estructura formal e informal y análisis de regresión para determinar el efecto que las tres dimensiones del autocontrol producen sobre la centralidad de grado y la intermediación en la red de contactos formales e informales. En el estudio participaron 88 personas (88,8 % hombres) con una edad media de 24,55 años (DT = 3,44) que conforman la plantilla completa de la empresa analizada. Los resultados muestran la existencia de solapamiento (R = 0,287; p < 0,0001) entre la estructura formal e informal. La capacidad para modificar la presentación de uno mismo incide positivamente en la intermediación en la red de contactos formales (β = 0,408; p = 0,02). La atención a la comparación social afecta negativamente sobre el nivel de intermediación en la red de contactos formales (β = − 0,369; p = 0,047). Sin embargo, la variabilidad intersituacional es el predictor más potente de la centralidad de entrada (β = 0,349; p = 0,009) y de salida (β = 0,295; p = 0,03) en la red de contactos informales. Se discute el rol del autocontrol en la conducta relacional y en los resultados de los trabajadores.
